JD Vance Reveals What Didn’t Get Enough Attention During Trump-Harris Debate

In the aftermath of Wednesday’s debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, there was plenty of partisan bickering over which candidate came out on top.

For Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), however, the biggest takeaway was what was not mentioned nearly enough by the ABC News moderators.

According to the Daily Wire:

“This debate didn’t talk nearly enough about the fact that Americans are struggling because they can’t afford groceries, they can’t afford housing, and their kids are dying of fentanyl overdoses because Kamala Harris has let the Mexican drug cartels take over the southern border,” Vance said.

“This is a disgrace what’s going on in our country,” he continued, adding, “… and we could do so much better if we just had better leadership. We’ve got the best workers, the most beautiful country, the best natural resources, but Kamala Harris’ leadership is squandering the great benefits of this country. It’s why we’ve got to get back to Donald Trump’s leadership.”

A brief scan of social media reveals that each of these issues are clearly on the minds of millions of voters ahead of November’s election.

After the debate CNN was shocked 🤣, all people care about is their wallet.

Kristi Noem: We still don't know who Kamala Harris is or what she plans to do.

I didn't hear once a detailed description of how she's going to make their groceries more affordable or gas prices drop.

These moderators NEVER ONCE fact-checked her when she LIED. pic.twitter.com/ytJ6thl8cM

I fact checked Kamala Harris:

– Gas prices are still high.
– Grocery prices are still high.
– Americans are still held in captivity.
– illegals are still invading our country.

Today. All on her watch.

To his credit, Trump took several opportunities to blast Harris’ record and tout his own on topics including the economy.

According to Yahoo:

Trump countered with his record as president, noting that as president prices went up 2.4% in 2018 and 1.8% in 2019, the economy grew, and monthly unemployment rates were 4% or less monthly during those two years, before the Covid pandemic hit.

“We had the greatest economy. We got hit with the pandemic,” Trump said.

Under the Biden administration, prices were up as much as 9% on an annual basis in June 2022 but have since settled to a 2.9% annual rate.
